In addition, does anyone know what it would cost for tesla service (via app) to replace one mirror? [UK] Weighing up insurance claim...

Mine was smashed off by a vandle in north london (the joys of on street parking...). While I know a whole unit is available, only the motor assembly is damaged on mine. Any chance this alone is replaceable? Theres some torx heads nearby... Although i assume tesla doesnt use off the shelf mirror...

Both those points worked for me, along with adding my mum I got a £2.5k quote down to sub £1k.

Good point on databases. DVLA shows my MY V5 as issued, but the tfl and my local council ones don't. Which is annoying given we only have in street parking and need a permit to park.

Suggestions for alternate quieter superchargers on way back to London? Does the in car system give a sense of how busy a s/charger is?

Just off the phone after using the call back mentioned above. Apparently they are open till 8pm, not 10pm. Best to call if you are also late. Taxi service running till then too.

Apparently the train driver has now removed the tree himself... Hoping the 10pm close is right... But guessing the tesla teacakes *may* have run out?

Thanks that's helpful as phoneline has 20mins wait. Now on a train, although it's not left yet....

currently stuck in Waterloo as all trains cancelled, does anyone know what happens if pickup is not possible today?

A query for those who have picked up, which connectors / plugs come with the car? Espically interested to know if the commando adaptor is included? Would hope so. For info this is a helpful Web page though last update was 2020 so suspect its not up to date...

Cheers, makes sense and thanks for the updates today. In Austria at the moment and just passed a white Model Y, so now seriously excited for next week...yours looks👌

I had a courtesy call today for Southampton pickup next Sat and they said no free/rebated charging and SoC will be around 100 miles. And no parcel shelf. How does rebate work?

Did you call - just checked and their website doesn't list Model Y. I'm struggling to get below £2k as I live in London so only option is on street residential parking...anyone else in similar position? FWIW Adrian Flux couldn't beat the 2k found through comparehemarket.

which firm - name and shame so we dont have the same experience! we did this for Gatwick mid pandemic and parked right in front of the airport, I dont think they moved it (VW T5) the whole time we were away, but I'm concerned now!

thanks for quick reply - I'm with them too. invoice states payment needed 7 days before, so setup for a week before pickup. £25 towards the train ticket to Southhampton!

Out of interest, which bank do you use and how much did they charge for the £50k transfer?

No one knows for sure as the boat is still at sea, most expect all the new additions bar the parcel shelf, question is if this comes later for free, or at cost...

for anyone looking appears you need to live at the address the car is registered too: details: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/customer-guidance-electric-vehicle-homecharge-scheme/electric-vehicle-homecharge-scheme-guidance-for-customers

Great to see - but yes, that's a clean install. efixx have a great youtube series on this subject. Suspect they have a deal with Zappi mind but their content is first rate. (I've not affiliation to them!) Out of interest, presumably the grant does not need to tie to the same house as the...

haha -just seen you live in Southampton too - so you dont need to factor in the cost of getting to the docks! really hoping the "free" supercharging for 24hours thing comes off....

thanks - that's helpful - I'm cash. so could be material - though the smart peeps know that Model Y only came to the UK in 2022...but maybe the algorithmic trade in systems don't care for such things. To be honest, there's a good chance I'll keep the MY longer than 3 years. I mean, I've got the...

I'm not a car nut - so I don't understand this, surely better to have the car sooner so you can enjoy it? the plate makes no financial difference does it?

Thanks - there's a separate thread with lots of excitement building - but in short looks like if you dont take them up on the generous offer of Southampton docks you get moved to the back of the que for a delivery more likely in March.

that would suck - helpful thread though, think I'll make the train trip down from London to pickup on the 19th. From central London is basically same travel time as Bluewater/Thorpe Park. but free super charger would be ...helpful. Any more experienced members know the detail on this?

Berlin all set to produce Model Ys - but dont expect the 4680s for a while. Looks like it could be a while before they make the switch to the structural battery pack.

Evening all - I had booked for MY collection at Bluewater - and just got the text inviting me to pickup at Southampton on 19th Feb.....presumably MYs will make their way to Bluewater or Thorpe Park if not collected from Southampton - or is pickup there non-negotiable?
